New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney's first novel in a brand-new series spins the intriguing story of a beautiful widow and a devilishly handsome shipbuilder...

Seven years have passed since GlynisMacIain made the foolish mistake of declaring her love to Lennox Cameron, only to have him stare at her dumbfounded. Heartbroken, she accepted the proposal of a diplomat and moved to America, where she played the role of a dutiful wife among Washington's elite. Now a widow, Glynis is back in Scotland. Though Lennox can still unravel her with just one glance, Glynis is no longer the naïve girl Lennox knew and vows to resist him.

With the American Civil War raging, shipbuilder Lennox Cameron must complete a sleek new blockade runner for the Confederate Navy. He cannot afford any distractions, especially the one woman he's always loved. Glynis's cool demeanor tempts him to prove to her what a terrible mistake she made seven years ago.

As the war casts its long shadow across the ocean, will a secret from Glynis's past destroy any chance for a future between the two star-crossed lovers?

I am new to Karen Ranney's work; this may be my first book of hers to read but it will not be my last.

As many of you know, I am a huge Highlander fan. You will find this a light and easy read, but you will also find yourself one great tale full of intrigue, romance, there's twists and turns that you wouldn't expect. It doesn't matter if you are a lover of historical romance, suspense romance or romances with just a dash of politics thrown in, this book is sure to grab your attention from the start and keep your interest until the last page is turned. I recommend this author and this wonderful book. Curl up in the cold winter months and relax with this treasure.

Karen Ranney began writing when she was five. Her first published work was The Maple Leaf, read over the school intercom when she was in the first grade. In addition to wanting to be a violinist (her parents had a special violin crafted for her when she was seven), she wanted to be a lawyer, a teacher, and, most of all, a writer. Though the violin was discarded early, she still admits to a fascination with the law, and she volunteers as a teacher whenever needed. Writing, however, has remained the overwhelming love of her life.

I LOVED what this reviewer said about the book: "...one great tale full of intrigue, romance, there's twists and turns that you wouldn't expect." Now that is a story I definitely want to read and intend to read, some what may. I love a smidgen of intrigue or mystery with romance...adds a little excitement to the mix. :-) Thanks for the post! jdh2690@gmail.com

Books are very much like people in so many ways. Inside the pages they speak of lives and hold secrets. They keep you company, they become a sanctuary. Sometimes you love them or sometimes you hate them. They can leave you with words or phrases that give you chills, lingering a bit longer in your thoughts. If you are lucky, you find many can become your best friends, those that you pick up again and again. And some can change your life forever.
